Uh, yes they do. It's all based on consumer confidence. If consumers have no confidence in the future of the economy (or who they know will be in charge of the nation soon), the market falls. Pretty simple.
Of course, the dems had NO HAND in the economic mess at all, did they? Talk about "owning up".

Speaking of landslides....how's the market doing this morning? Oh, only down 1000 POINTS! The worst two-day slide since some time in the 80's!
Doesn't seem to be much consumer confidence in your man, SMM.

Let us just hope that the rumblings that Palin is the future of the conservative movement are absolutely true.

It's obvious most of the mental midgets who support McCain fall short in cognitive reasoning capabilities. Sadly, they're all too willing to allow themselves to be brainwashed. Without a doubt, Jim Jones would have provided plenty of kool-aid for these programmable simpletons.
Republican smear campaigns have been in vogue since the days of Lee Atwater, who by the way, died of brain cancer. Atwater was the predecessor of Rove and when Bush Sr. could not intelligently speak on the issues in the '88 campaign, he turned to Atwater to discredit Michael Dukakis. Same tactics as McCain is now using....In '88 Bush Sr. made it a point to question the patriotism of Dukakis and repeatedly portrayed him as anti-American because of his membership in the ACLU.
McCain and Rove are doing the same BS right now to OBama. The problem for McCain is it's not reaching anybody but those people who already are part of his base of supporters. So, in all actuality, McCain is alienating everyone else and his tactics have backfired. Too bad this 'bought-and-paid-for' career politician lacks the ability to speak intelligently on the issues.
Republicans like McCain, and now Elizabeth Dole, need to realize smear campaigns won't cover-up the fact the majority of the electorate realize our country has hit rock bottom after eight years of incompetence by an illegitimately-elected Republican president, who is nothing more than a puppet controlled by corporate America.
McCain offers nothing new just more of the same failed disasters. He sold out to Bush and his cronies and that shows us just how transparent he really is.
With only three days to go before the election, it's very strange noticing the lack help McCain's campaign is receiving from Republican party leaders and 'elder statesmen' such as Bush Sr., Bob Dole or Newt Gingrich. Even those who were highly visible during the primary elections such as Huckabee, Romney, Thompson, etc., are keeping their distance from McCain.
I can't recall anytime during past campaigns when 'well-known' politicians were so conspicuously absent from 'hitting the campaign trail' for their party's presidential nominee. Reading between the lines.......that alone, speaks volumes about McCain and his decisions.
Next Tuesday, no later than 7:30 p.m. (Arizona time), it will be over for McCain. That's when eastern states Florida and Pennsylvania will be won by Obama with Ohio added to Obama's win column following soon afterward. The landslide will have started. Again, that should be no later than 7:30 p.m. (Arizona time).
It won't be a long night, unless McCain miraculously discovers he has a 'long lost brother' by the name of 'Jeb McCain' who is governor of Florida.
What's really embarrassing for McCain is the very real possibility he might not even win his home state, and if he does, it will be by the slimmest of margins. Hopefully, McCain will get a clue and realize he should just count out the remaining days of his senate term and not run for re-election again.
That way, he can renew his friendship with old pals like Charlie Keating.
